Hawaii is my favorite place

We are having an AMAZING time in Hawaii. We leave on Friday, so we're soaking up all of the fun.

This is what a Maui vacation looks like for us:

We've spent a minimum of 6+ hours a day at the pool (the boys are pool obsessed), minus our two excursion days

A trip to Haleakala to see the crater/volcano

A snorkel cruise (Sam got super seasick, so that wasn't as fun as we'd hoped)

Snorkeled off of the beach

A trip for epic shave ice

Played hotel bingo

More rainbows than you can imagine

Yoga by the beach (me :-))

Total relaxing family time.

I feel SO relaxed. My favorite part? All of that time without a schedule, without work or any work requirements. I do have a phone interview tomorrow, but I haven't done any work at all. It's been glorious! :-)

Here are a few photos of the fun:

This vacation has been far from inexpensive, but we've done what we could to keep the expenses in check. We've made all of our own meals, with a couple of exceptions - a breakfast buffet (free for everyone in our group except one), the epic shave ice, and a basket of fries by the pool. We'll also do Thanksgiving dinner out (I'm not cooking! :-)). We stocked up on groceries at Costco on our first day, and have been trying to keep the poolside drinks to a minimum.

I'm going to soak up all of the fun! I hope you are all having a great week!

Looks like a good time! Glad you are relaxing. :) I love reading about vacations - even if they aren't mine!

My favorite vacation destination thus far has been California ... we visited Southern CA & Sequoia National Park a couple years ago. I am itching to go back ... I would love to visit Northern CA and Yosemite.
